Now that over two years have passed since the conclusion of Netflix's hit reality dating show Too Hot To Handle, it's worth wondering what the season 2 contestants are up to in 2024. The show ended with the charming French model and athlete Marvin Anthony taking home the grand prize. Cam Holmes and Carly Lawrence ended up taking second and third place, respectively.
While couples on Too Hot To Handle aren't great at adhering to Lana's rules, there have been some enduring pairs from the show. However, despite whether couples stayed together, it's fascinating to see what they're up to years after appearing on reality TV. The Too Hot To Handle season 2 cast has been up to a lot in 2024.

Reality TV is more popular than ever. With so many to choose from, here are some of the best reality TV shows to stream or watch right now.
Cam Holmes & Emily Miller
Still Together
Although they broke the celibacy rules early and often on Too Hot To Handle, Cam Holmes and Emily Miller became a fan-favorite couple during season 2. While both were among the ten finalists, now 27-year-old Cam took second place, and 30-year-old Emily came in sixth. Ten months later, Cam and Emily moved in together in London in 2021 and are still a couple. Professionally speaking, Cam has been working with trendy brands BoohooMan, Spotify, and Nova Fashion. Emily has contributed to various clothing lines, such as Simmi Shoes, Oh Polly, and Boohoo.
Besides becoming successful influencers online, Cam and Emily went through a lot of relationships ups and downs. The pair broke up briefly in April 2022 but were back together within months of the breakup. Then, in June 2022, Emily revealed she and Cam suffered a miscarriage, which was difficult for them, but it brought them closer together. Cam and Emily laid low a while after the miscarriage but revealed on New Year's Eve in December 2023 that the pair were expecting their first child together. Emily gave birth to their son, Reggie Ruston Miller-Holmes on June 20.
Melinda Melrose & Peter Vigilante
Not Together
In what has turned out to be the most shocking Too Hot To Handle post-season development, Melinda Melrose split from her seemingly ideal match in Marvin Anthony to become romantically involved with Peter Vigilante, the first contestant eliminated. Melinda announced she and Peter were together just a week after the finale aired, remaining hot and heavy with each other until September 2021.
Two years later, the two hadn't posted public photos together since, but they did constantly comment on each other's posts, fueling speculation that they were still together in a long-distance California-New York relationship in 2023. However, Peter revealed on TikTok that the two broke up in March 2022. Professionally, Peter travels between the coasts to work as a personal trainer. At the same time, Melinda continues to work as a fashion model and social media influencer.
In February 2024, Melinda did allegedly open up about their past in a TikTok but didn't call Peter out by name. She posted a video about their relationship and how it came to an end. Melinda said the two weren't official, but they were doing things that a couple would normally do. However, one day, when he and Melinda went to the gym close to his house, she noticed a girl staring at him, and the guy she was speaking of introduced Melinda to the girl.
She didn't think anything of it at first, but Melinda became suspicious. So one day, she decided to play a prank on him while he was out, and when he returned, he was talking on the phone, talking to a girl, and overheard him saying, "Tell me you love me." After months of not speaking, Melinda finds out through another ex of his that this woman she saw at the gym was his girlfriend, and she knew this guy was dating her. Melinda believes "Peter" and his girlfriend were in on the for clout.
Christina Carmela
She's Moved On From Robert
As shocking as it was to see Christina Carmela choose Robert Van Tromp at the end of Too Hot To Handle season 2, the couple lasted three months before calling it quits in September 2021 (as per goss. ie). The distance between Christina's home in South Africa and Robert's in London proved too difficult to navigate, especially with lockdown rules relating to the pandemic. Christina continues to work as a fashion model and has taken to the skies to flex her excellent professional pilot skills.
It's unclear if Christina is in a relationship now in 2024, as she has not posted about any men in her life. However, Christina is still thriving. She is traveling all over the world, from Los Angeles to Monaco in 2024 alone.
Robert Van Tromp
He's A Dating Coach
As Christina's short-lived beau, Robert has returned to London, where he started a podcast called Lipstick Stained Passport. He discusses his time on the show, sex, relationship advice, mental health, and other hot-button topics. Robert has rebranded himself as a dating and wellness coach when he isn't podcasting. He makes frequent Instagram posts about modern dating.
Marvin Anthony
He's A Model
The popular first-place winner Marvin seemed to have a great thing going with Melinda, only to see their relationship fizzle after a heated row during a Mexico vacation. While he continues to work as a fashion model and fitness advocate, Marvin also used his platform to become an ambassador for BLEU WATER. This nonprofit provides greater access to clean drinking water (as per inspiredtravel.ca). Since his time on the show, Marvin has traveled quite a bit, visiting London, Paris, Dubai, and Milan.
Carly Lawrence
She Got Married & Divorced
Toronto native Carly Lawrence finished third after connecting with Joey Joy, a late entry to the villa. The two lasted just a month or two before breaking off in August 2021, according to Narcity. Aside from appearing on the podcast Pillowtalk, Carly seems to have found a new beau named Bennett Sipes. The pair got married shortly after they started dating in May 2022. However, after two years of marriage, E! News confirmed that Carly and Bennet had filed for divorce in June, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason they no longer wanted to be married.
Since the split, Carly has been spending more time in Toronto. Carly's most recent Instagram photos have been of her hanging out in the city. Her parents still live in Toronto, so she is likely spending more time with them.
Chase De Moor
Appeared On Several Reality Shows
Arguably the funniest Too Hot To Handle season 2 contestant, Chase De Moor, left the villa alone and returned home to pursue his professional football career. However, Chase returned quickly to reality TV when he appeared on Perfect Match season 1. While he was unsuccessful in finding a match on the show, he was still entertaining. Now, Chase is moving away from football and pivoting toward a boxing career and has been signed to Mistfits Boxing, a brand started by KSI. Chase also co-hosts the podcast Unscripted Show with Gabrielle Moses.
Elle Monae
She's A Model
Elle Monae stormed into the villa midway through Too Hot To Handle season 2 and instantly turned heads. She continues to regularly model and has pursued a music career, with a recent single now available. Perhaps most exciting, Elle was signed to Best Kept Secret in February 2022, a multi-platinum management firm sure to expand her opportunities. In 2024, Elle continues to be a successful model and influencer, as she is currently the ambassador for popular fashion company Fashion Nova.
Nathan Webb
He Had A Child
Former Texas stripper Nathan Webb ended his time on the show by splitting up with Aukland native Larissa Trownson. Once Nathan expressed that he was no longer interested, Larissa left the show on her own accord. Since then, Nathan has relocated to California, seemingly living the American dream. He welcomed a baby girl with his partner at the time, Kayleigh Rock. When he isn't joking about his dad-bod, Nathan can be found bolstering his physique at the gym or posing for online modeling shoots. As of 2024, Nathan doesn't seem to be in a relationship.
Larissa Trownson
She Dyed Her Hair
Currently working with Fashion Nova, Larissa was the only Too Hot Handle season 2 contestant to leave in the middle of the show. Her time with Nathan ended after a promising start, prompting her to return to New Zealand, where she continues to be a social media influencer. Larissa also works as a lawyer in her homeland, balancing work and play with the utmost enjoyment.
She launched an exclusive website, larissatrownson.com, which is said to be akin to an OnlyFans account. Larissa is now a brunette and debuted a new boyfriend, Jack Mellor, on Instagram in May 2023. However, Larissa no longer follows him on Instagram and has removed any photos of him since. The couple is likely no longer together in 2024.
Tabitha Clifft
She Lives In Dubai
Despite failing to find love on the show, London native Tabitha Clifft became the tenth finalist. In the past year, Tabitha has dedicated herself to being a personal fitness and wellness life coach for many clients, launching her "Glow Wellness Club" brand. With dieting and nutrition tips to go with elaborate workout routines, Tabitha is candid about what she eats daily and what she does for exercise. She also moved to Dubai, according to her Instagram. In 2024, it is unclear if Tabitha still lives in Dubai as her most recent post from July is her in Glastonbury, England.
Joey Joy
He Has A Podcast
Miami party boy Joey has split his time between South Beach and Los Angeles since finishing the show in seventh place. At just 25 years old, Joey has recently removed his tattoo and dental braces, done online modeling, and a bit of traveling. Like most other Too Hot To Handle season 2 contestants, Joey has secured a modeling spot for Fashion Nova and NovaMen. He also started a business called Joy Whitestrips for teeth whitening. Joey also hosts the podcast Joey Joy Radio.
Kayla Carter
She's Been In Pageants
Along with Peter, Kayla Carter was the first player to be eliminated from the villa. The 25-year-old Floridian has been modeling since appearing on Too Hot To Handle. Unfortunately, Kayla made zero romantic connections on the show and left before anyone got to know her. Like many alums, she now models for Fashion Nova. Kayla is now a pageant contestant and has Miss Charm PH 2024 and Miss Universe Philippines- NorCal.
Too Hot Too Handle is available to stream on Netflix.
